Lore Hunter
A thirst for knowledge can often lead one to dangerous places, fortunately you are well prepared for danger.
Society Feature?Society Feature?Calculated Strike
Starting at 1st level, you can utilize your knowledge to pinpoint weak spots and improve the damage you deal with weapons. Once per turn, when you hit a creature or object with a weapon attack, you can add a bonus to the damage roll equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Lorehunter's Notebook
You possess a collection of dense notes, perhaps in a single well organized book or perhaps scattered in loose scraps across your person. Regardless, the notes are written in such a way that you, and only you, can quickly refer to them in useful situations. It may take others hours to understand them, if they manage at all.
You can record notes about certain proficiencies you posses. While holding your notebook, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses one of the recorded proficiencies.
When you create the notebook, you choose two skills, tools, instruments or vehicles with which you are proficient and record them in the notebook. If your book is lost or destroyed, you can create a new one at the end of your next long rest, destroying the previous book and choosing two proficiencies again.
On your travels you may encounter creatures and documents that may grant you additional expertise in a particular a skill, tool, instrument or vehicle with which you are proficient. A creature must have a feature that doubles their proficiency bonus with the chosen proficiency and must share a language with you. A document may be any suitable document that the DM decides contains expert level knowledge of the chosen proficiency, such as another lorehunter's notebook, and is written in a language you understand. Either way, you must spend at least
8 hours and 50gpworth of materials studying with the creature or document, which must remain within 10 feet of you for the duration. At the end of the duration, you must make a DC10 Intelligence check to successfully record notes in your book. On a fail, the notes are useless, and you must expend more time and gold to make another attempt.The DC for the intelligence check increases by 5 for every successful recording. Removing and destroying the notes for a particular proficiency from the book reduces the next DC by 5, however, doing so means you no longer gain the benefits for the destroyed proficiency.
higher level feature to make book indestructable and/or teleport to hand with an action higher level feature to add expertise for things you are not proficient in? Higher level feature to allow others to use book (or copy) to gain bonus to the rollsFighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again. Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace a fighting style you know with another fighting style available to lorehunters. This replacement represents a shift of focus in your martial practice.
Agile Fighting (Homebrew)Akimbo Shooting (Homebrew)ArcheryDefenseDuelingGreat Weapon FightingProne Fighting (Homebrew)ProtectionThrown Weapon FightingUnarmed Fighting(some of) the above plus:Arcane Warrior
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. They count as lorehunter spells for you, and Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the wizard spell list.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on arcane magic through study and practice to cast spells as a wizard does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of the class for lorehunter spells.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Lorehunter table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your lorehunter spells. To cast one of your lorehunter spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of lorehunter spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the lorehunter spell list. When you do so, choose a number of lorehunter spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your lorehunter level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level lorehunter , you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of lorehunter spells requires time spent in study: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your lorehunter spells, since their power derives from intense study. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a lorehunter spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus or your notebook as a spellcasting focus for your lorehunter spells.
Scholastic Society
At 3rd level, you choose an scholastic society from which you gained your knowledge and skills. This society may be an order that you belong to, or that you have acquired knowledge and skills from by other means, with or without their permission. Alternatively, it could be a person or figure that has taught or inspired you to pursue your search for knowledge.
Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 7th,
11th, and 15thlevel.Lv4 ASILv5 Extra AttackResourceful
Starting at 6th level, you can use a bonus action to take the Help or Use an Object action.
Additionally, you can use a whip as if it were a 15 foot rope with a grappling hook. When you hit a Medium or smaller creature with an attack using a whip, you can forgo damage and force the creature to make a Strength saving throw against the attack roll or be knocked prone.Maybe make a manovers subclass that gets the whip (and more) stuff?
